Despite EMTs finding a pulse, she was placed in a medically-induced coma just hours later.
Sources told Page Six that the singer’s heart stopped several times after she was transported to the ICU.
There appeared to be no drugs on the scene of her medical emergency and a cause of death has yet to be revealed.
